Yesterday I faced a new predicament...how to make a quick transition from day to night without looking too formal during the daytime. The solution? Why the beginnings of an updo paired with more casual clothing of course! While I am no hair expert (my friends will all attest to this), this look was pretty simple to create and the only thing you have to do for nighttime is add a few more pins!

Here's how you do it:

- Use a flatiron to create "kinky curls" by grabbing random 1-2" sections of hair and twisting them in a circle around the body.

- Tie hair in a loose ponytail, leaving some shorter strands out at the front.

- Use pins to secure any loose hairs at the sides and top.

For Night:

- Cover ponytail elastic with hair by wrapping strands around to form a bun. Pin any more loose pieces (such as the front strands) for a more formal look. The overall effect is a tousled up-do.

I am confident that all of you readers will be able to create this look...it's a nice change from your standard pony! Best of luck. :)
